Some one has addressed a letter
to the New York Sun inquiring as
to the advisability of cousins mar
rying. The Sun considers the ques-
ton from a mental and physiological
sense and concludes that the evidence
pro and con is not sufficient to give
a positive answer either for or
against the marriage of cousins. The
Sun did not consider the subject on
the ground of good taste, else il
might have answered negatively; and
certainly in a marriage there is some
thing due to good taste. 1t may b'
a mere matter of taste, but it nevel
did look pretty to see relatives unitet
in wedlock. The best advice of tn
world is to marry outside of tn
family. There is health and strengtl

Thatw ought to have prosperous

the country are indicative of favor.
able condition of trade. From nearly
all sections merchants report collec-
tons good. There had been some
anxiety about the money supply. But
for the present at least, the amount
OF currency in circulation should be
amply sufficient There has been an
increase of close upon $9OO, ,OOO, 900
therein during the last twelve months.
1t is true this has been rapidly ab-
sorbed by the necessities of increased
business activity, while the treasury
Is receiving more than it ought to,
or would, under more favorable fiscal
methods. Unless, however, some
unforeseen setback occurs, it is hardly
probable that these influences will,
for the present at least, produce the
disastrous results which many have
anticipated.
On the other side of the Atlantic,
especially in the great European
monetary center, London, there is
such a phenomenal abundance OF
money that loans have been made

A Willowy Woman in Hot Weather

Fat people are proverbially good
natured. but revenge is so full of hui
man nature that even the most be-
nevolent persons can not help in
oulslng IN little, A fat lady thus
gets in her work on willowy
friend. She said: Jennie is tall and
slender and always wears tailor
made gowns of great accuracy to fit
and style She is what they call
wIlowy. Jennies travelling rig was
perfect to look at. She had a sling
sleeve wrap of ecru pongee. mate
rial that shakes around and makes
believe be cool. She had a pin
head check cloth tailor-made dress,
and love of a travelling hat of
smoke-colored chip with crimson
bird on its ridge pole surveying the
slanting sides of straw that looked
for all the world like a slated roof.
Jennie was tired from her ride, and
Emma and I helped her get off her
things. I never was SO shocked in
my life as when I beheld the condi-
ton of that poor creature. As I
think of her on the hot, dusty cars
the tears come into my eyes. The
dress waist was lined with thick,
twilled silk, and was boned till you
couldn't put your finger on the lin.
ing between the seams It was pad
ded over up into the shoulder like
the front of cavalry officers coat
The sleeves had two thicknesses O.
sheet wadding on the under side ant
one on top, between the check stuf
and the silk lining. 1t was hk'
looking into a gas pipe to gaz'
down those dark little stuffed
sleeves. 1 laid the waist on chai
on its back, and its shape remained
as in life, while the sleeves stuck VI

fortunate Jennie. When we go

A Springfield, O., mother checked
her baby carriage to neighboring
town where she was about to visit,
and forgot to remove the child from

missed the baby, and, after a frantic
and fruitless search, suddenly re-
membered where she had left it. She
got to the baggage car just IN time
to get the infant as it was being

TOO OLD TO MARRY.
Death of DIR. f. ID. Standiford. the Mil.
lionalre Railroad Man of Louisville.

Louisville. Ky, July 27.-Dr. E.
D. Standiford died this morning at
4 o'clock, at his home. 1922 Fourth
avenue. He had been in poor health
for about 3 months and was serious
ly Ill week before his marriage to
Miss Laura Scott at Paducah. a lit
tie over two weeks ago. He would
not have a physician, however, not
thinking his condition serious enough
and it was not until last Friday that
Drs. Iandell and Roberts were called
upon. He was seriously i'll from
that time until yesterday morning at
6 o'clock. He had been in bed, how
ever, since Friday week. Yesterday
morning he felt much better, but
was unable to get out of bed. He
tried to take a little nourishment,
but all that he could retain was q
little boiled milk and beef tea. He
was quite cheerful, however, and
talked with various members of the
family who were with him. Up to
noon he continued to feel better, but
| after that time he began to grow
worse. He evidently had not the
slightest idea of his approaching
dissolution, however, and neither did
his family, nearly all of whom were
with him. About 10 o'clock he
grew much worse. Drs Yandell and
Roberts were sent for and remained
with him until his death. In spite
of all that could be done he sank
rapidly. A few minutes before 4
o'clock he called three times fol
"Mary," meaning his daughter, Mrs
Murray Keller. He evidently hao
something that he wished to say te
| her. However, he could not max,

The Mormons have lost another
prophet. John Taylor, president of
the Mormon church, is dead. He
was Brigham Young's successor, but
as an executive he has never been a
conspicuous success. He was zeal
GUS in his faith and had some ability
as talker. He did not care to face
the Edmunds law, and more than a
year ago fed to escape arrest and
trial under it. He died in his hiding
place. He evaded the Federal Of
ficials, but death sought him out and
executed its sentence against him
He will be brought to the tabernacle
where the funeral services are ex
pected to be imposing. Taylor was
an earnest believer In the doctrine o.
polygamy, never failed to advocate
it, and proclaimed it with NOR
JUNCTION than any of his disciples
Modern civilization does not approv
of Taylor's system of ancient ethics
and mourning for his death will no
extend beyond the borders of Utah
